Chương 419: Standing before you now are Xiang Yu and Liu Ce.

"His appearance completely shattered the notion that history is written by the victors. Leading eight thousand men from Jiangdong, he roamed the chaotic world. With only his thirteen-foot-long Overlord Spear, he became the top of the four great 100-man slayers in history. No one could surpass him in head-on confrontation. He single-handedly achieved three 100-man slayers. With only his heroic spirit, he roamed freely in this chaotic world."

"During the Battle of Julu, the other lords watched from the sidelines. He burned his boats and defeated Zhang Han's 400, 000 troops with only 50, 000 men. In the Battle of Pengcheng, he remained true to his hegemonic nature, leading 30, 000 cavalry to pursue a coalition of 560, 000 men who were routed. He fought more than 70 battles in eight years without ever being defeated.

He truly was a man who 'led his troops across the river and roamed the chaotic world, brandishing his spear and riding his horse across the eight directions.' He was none other than Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, who was hailed as 'the bravery of Yu, unparalleled throughout the ages.'"

After the video finished playing, little Xiang Yu proudly raised his chin, his little face clearly showing the words "That's what you call awesome."

Li Shimin and Zhu Di remained silent for a long time, looking at each other. They could tell from each other's eyes that this man was indeed ruthless.

Little Zhu Di muttered, "Fine, you win."

Young Li Shimin stated even more directly: "The ceiling of martial prowess, there's no arguing about that."

Only Xiao Liu Ce was clapping wildly on the sidelines, shouting:

"The Overlord is mighty! The Overlord is domineering!"

Little Xiang Yu nodded in satisfaction and stepped aside.

The four little figures stood in a row, looked at each other, and finally their eyes all fell on little Liu Ce.

Feeling a little guilty under his gaze, Xiao Liu Ce scratched his head and said: Why are you all staring at me?

Young Li Shimin laughed and said, "It's your turn."

Young Zhu Di chimed in, "That's right! We've all finished pretending, it's your turn!"

Little Xiang Yu crossed his arms and said calmly, "Give me one."

Liu Ce helplessly spread his hands and said, "I'm not finished yet. My main body's personal career isn't over. What do I have to compare with you guys?"

Young Li Shimin persisted, "That won't do! You've watched us pretend for so long, why don't you do one yourself?"

Young Zhu Di also shouted, "That's right! Give us one! Give us one!"

Unable to bear their commotion any longer, Xiao Liu Ce had no choice but to stand up, straighten his clothes, and maintain his composure even though he was wearing casual clothes.

He cleared his throat, put his hands behind his back, and his little face was full of "you just wait" expressions.

"Alright! Since you're all here, I'll give you a verbal update. The main body's battle record isn't finished yet, but it's already enough to give you a run for your money!"

He stood in front of the screen, cleared his throat, and began his voiceover.

The tone, the rhythm, it was like a storyteller:

"What stands before you now is... a bug in the history of world warfare, the Han Dynasty's god-level SSR emperor card, an overpowered male protagonist setting that even novelists dare not write."

"At the tender age of twenty, he slew a million enemy soldiers, truly a dashing young man in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, invincible throughout the world."

"At the age of seventeen, he went to war, quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and became a legend in one battle, shaking the world. He was braver than the three armies, was named Marquis of Champion, appointed General of the Cavalry, and appointed Governor of Youzhou."

"At the age of nineteen, he pacified the Wuhuan, destroyed Goguryeo, trampled the Xianbei, and led his troops to Lake Baikal, forcing the Xianbei to submit and pay tribute. He sealed the Wolf Mountain and drank from the vast sea, expanding the Han Dynasty's vast territory. At the age of nineteen, he achieved the highest military achievement of an ancient general."

At the age of twenty, he was enfeoffed as the Prince of Yan, with a fief of 20, 000 households, and was put in charge of the military affairs of the three provinces of You, Bing, and Ji.

He paused, deliberately drawing out the words: "... To be continued."

Then he spread his hands and laughed, "He is the fortune of the Han Dynasty, and even more so, the fortune of China. He is—Emperor Liu Ce of the Han Dynasty!"

After saying this, he cupped his hands to the three figures and said, "I'm making a fool of myself."

After hearing this, the young Xiang Yu, the young Li Shimin, and the young Zhu Di were all stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in unison, "Awesome!"

Li Shimin gave a thumbs up and said, "The words 'To be continued' are the most deadly."

Little Zhu Di nodded and said, "Fine, you win."

Little Xiang Yu rarely smiled and said, "That's impressive."

Xiao Liu Ce chuckled and said, "That's right, that's right. Don't you know whose original body it is, and whose template it is?"

The four little figures looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

Then, with a "whoosh," they all disappeared, just as suddenly as they had come.

Liu Ce took the book off his face, squinted at the winter sun, and smiled slightly.

These little people in my head are quite interesting.

He stretched, put the book on the small table, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

The tea was still warm, neither too hot nor too cold, just right.

The jumbled thoughts in his mind dissipated, and the warm sunlight shone on him, making him feel so comfortable that he wanted to take a nap.

"Husband? Husband?"

Cai Yan's voice came from afar.

Liu Ce looked up and saw Cai Yan carrying a bowl of soup as she walked over, followed by Zhang Ning, Zhen Jiang, and a few others.

"Sunbathing here again? Be careful not to catch a cold." Cai Yan handed him the soup.

"I made it for you, drink it while it's hot."

Liu Ce took the bowl, took a sip, and found it sweet and warm to his heart.

"It's delicious," he said with a smile.

Zhang Ning leaned closer and asked with a grin, "What were you thinking about just now, husband? You've been lying there for ages, laughing one minute and shaking your head the next."

Liu Ce said casually, "I wasn't thinking about anything, just sunbathing."

Zhang Ning clearly didn't believe him, but she didn't press him for details. Instead, she took his hand and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight. It's been a long time since we ate together."

Liu Ce nodded and said, "Okay. Tell the kitchen to prepare more dishes; we'll have a good meal tonight."

...

In the evening, the flower hall in the backyard was warm and cozy.

A huge round table was placed in the center of the hall, covered with a clean white tablecloth and filled with steaming hot food.

Liu Ce sat in the main seat, with Cai Yan on his left and Zhang Ning on his right.

Then, Ren Hongchang, Du Xiuniang, Zou Yu, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, Zhen Mi, He Lian, Mi Zhen, Gan Mei, Yin Ying, Feng Yu, and Cai Wan sat in a neat circle.

The sixteen ladies were all dressed beautifully, adorned with flowers, and exuding a fragrant aroma.

The flower hall was brightly lit and filled with laughter, just like during the Chinese New Year.

The children were there too, but they ate in a side room to avoid making a fuss.

There were bursts of noise coming from over there every now and then; it was quite lively.

Liu Ce sat in the main seat, looking at the table full of dishes and beautiful women, feeling incredibly happy.

"Come on, eat up, don't be shy."

Liu Ce greeted them with a smile, "The kitchen made your favorite dishes today, Yan'er's favorite... Ning'er's favorite... Jiang'er's favorite..."

He called out each wife's name, remembering clearly what dishes each wife liked to eat.

The women felt a sweet warmth in their hearts and smiled.

Zhang Ning picked up a piece of pork rib for him: "Husband, eat some too, don't just focus on us."

Zhen Jiang poured him a glass of wine: "My husband has worked hard today, have a drink."

Liu Ce picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

Afterwards, Cai Yan served him a piece of braised pork, and Zhang Ning served him a bowl of soup; their cooperation was seamless.

"My lord, please eat more," Cai Yan said gently.

"Yes, yes, you've lost weight recently," Zhang Ning chimed in.
